Telltale Games' quirky crossover game Pokter Night At The Inventory won't be just for casual game players. The upcoming poker title that features characters from four different game and game-related universes will also allow players to gain special in-game items for Valve's multiplayer shooter Team Fortress 2.

In addition playing the game itself will unlock other special items for other Team Fortress 2 characters including a timepiece from Tycho (Penny Arcade), the luger from Max (Sam and Max), and shutter shades from Strong Bad (Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People). You can check out a trailer that shows off all the items and a little of the game itself after the jump.

It's Poker Night at The Inventory and it does indeed feature characters from four different game and game-related universes: The Heavy (Team Fortress 2), Tycho (Penny Arcade), Max (Sam and Max), and Strong Bad (Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People).

Telltale and Steam are both taking pre-orders for the game for a mere $4.95. You will also get a 25 percent coupon when you pre-order that can be used on most of Telltale's other products. The game itself is due for release later this fall.

The San Diego Comic-Con may be over but a previously unknown Comic-Con related sale over at Telltale Games is still going on as we speak.

Sam and Max Season One and Two are on sale for just $9.95 each and the entire season of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is available at the rock bottom price of $4.95.

Mac gamers continue to get the short end of the stick in terms of getting native ports of PC games. However, Mac gamers could be getting a ton of PC titles very soon. According to the Maclife.com site, Telltale Games will announce plans to bring most of their episodic adventure games to the Mac platform at next month's MacWorld Expo.

According to the article, the first games from the Telltale game library will be their successful Tales of Monkey Island with their other episodic series to be released on the Mac later on in the year. Our sister site Joystiq contacted Telltale for comment and was told the story was "totally unconfirmed."

More free games! More free games! Yep, we have yet another limited time deal for you to grab and play a game free of charge.

In this case you can get the fifth episode of Telltale Games' episodic adventure game Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People for free for the next 13 or so hours.

The episode, 8-Bit Is Not Enough, features Trogdor, the well-armed (hehe) dragon that was created seven years ago today at HomestarRunner.com. Today is (natch) Trogday so hence the free game giveaway. In addition, Telltale is selling the entire Strong Bad season today for just $19.95, a 33 percent price cut for from its normal $29.95 price.

In this netherverse between Christmas and New Year's Day many retail stores are getting rid of excess inventory and doing some winter cleaning of their shelves to prepare for the new year. It looks like Telltale Games is doing something similar with their online store.

This week Telltale is cleaning their decks and giving customers a big 25 percent off their entire order from their online store. That includes downloads of their games like Sam and Max, (their their "season" is due in 2010) Wallace and Gromit and Tales of Monkey Island along with DVD collections of their games, CD soundtracks, toys and other items.

As we mentioned earlier today, Telltale Games turns five years old this week and the game development studio made up of former LucasArts adventure game developers has been highly successful with its series of downloadable episodic adventure games. It's released two "seasons" of Sam and Max, plus a season of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. Right now they are in the middle of its Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures series. Telltale states they have sold over one million PC game episodes since their launch.

While Telltale is running a new promotion designed to get new people to try out their games, they also revealed that a new game announcement will be made at this year's E3 event. There's no word yet on if the game will be a return to a past series or an all new game.

Turning five years old for a kid usually means a big birthday and a chance to go to school for kindergarten for the first time.For Telltale Games, turning five years old means that they have some celebrating to do and you get some of the benefits.
